While investigators said the shooting occurred inside the hotel, it is unclear if it happened in a room or in another part of the building.
On Saturday afternoon, police said it is believed the shooting occurred as a result of a robbery.
Police said no arrests have been made in connection with the incident but they are searching for a male suspect last seen leaving the area on foot.
He is described as being bald and six feet tall with a muscular build.
The shooting came just a few hours before another shooting in Peel Region early Saturday.
Just before 5 a.m., a man was shot dead in an industrial area in Brampton.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
